]]>Continuing the Summer of PKD, the Pavement Pounders discuss the short story “The Golden Man,” loosely adapted into the 2007 Nicolas Cage vehicle Next. Somewhere, somebody enjoys this film. Just not us. Will the story fare better?

Bonus points for anyone who counts how many times Colin says “nucular.”

Unfortunately, Seth’s recording failed (silently) at about the 40 minute mark, so his audio is pulled from what bled into the other guys’ mics. It’s not fantastic, but the conversation is still good, and James and Colin’s recordings kept on working.

It’s not quite our usual format, as for the most part we took a back seat to Michael, allowing him to steer the conversation wherever he wanted. And that’s a very good thing.

Topics discussed:

Michael’s history as a writer and a science fiction fan

The history of the I Remember the Future collection of Michael’s award-nominated fiction (featuring, naturally “I Remember the Future”)

How to best preserve the legacy of the Big Three (Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein)

High Energy Physics! (yes, we’re nerds)

The vagaries of forgetting one’s had a story optioned for a film.

We cannot adequately express to Michael how cool it was to chat with him. Huge thanks to him and to his family for letting us distract him awhile!

In terms of homework for this podcast, you’ll definitely want to have read “I Remember the Future” and perhaps “Broken Symmetry” and “Cosmic Corkscrew.” (See the link below to get a copy of the collection containing all of these and more.)

In terms of homework for this podcast, you’ll definitely want to have read “I Remember the Future” and perhaps “Broken Symmetry” and “Cosmic Corkscrew.” (See the link below to get a copy of the collection containing all of these and more.)

]]>No clever title this time, because we were fortunate enough to have a chance to sit down (virtually) with Michael A. Burstein and discuss his short story “I Remember the Future” and its recent short film adaptation. It’s not quite our usual format, as for the most part we took a back seat to Michael, allowing him to steer the conversation wherever he wanted. And that’s a very good thing.

Topics discussed:

Michael’s history as a writer and a science fiction fan

The history of the I Remember the Future collection of Michael’s award-nominated fiction (featuring, naturally “I Remember the Future”)

How to best preserve the legacy of the Big Three (Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein)

High Energy Physics! (yes, we’re nerds)

The vagaries of forgetting one’s had a story optioned for a film.

We cannot adequately express to Michael how cool it was to chat with him. Huge thanks to him and to his family for letting us distract him awhile!

Under consideration this time are the classic 1818 novel Frankenstein, its equally classic 1931 adaptation, 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein, Mel Brooks’s Young Frankenstein, a couple of other adaptations, and the new film Victor Frankenstein.

In Episode #10, the Pavement Pounders discuss the influential and criminally under-read (at least in the U.S.) The Day of the Triffids, by John Wyndham. The 1962 British film adaptation as well as the 1981 and 2009 BBC mini-series adaptations are also discussed. We’re considering this the end of Season One of Take Me To Your Reader, so we went out with a bang here, discussing the book and three adaptations, as well as having a rather extended discussion of just what makes a good adaptation. Sparks fly, and there may be a bit of hair-pulling and an insult here or there. Honestly, though, we actually like each other. (We’ll be back in September, probably, with new episodes.)

Pounder Rankings!:

Colin:

James:

Seth:

Notes:

Colin’s reference to Matthew Inman as the author of XKCD was in error (and Seth and James totally didn’t catch it). That’s Randall Munroe (https://what-if.xkcd.com/). Matthew Inman is The Oatmeal. We at the Pavement Pounders Podcast admire them both.

In a twist that’s perhaps ironic and perhaps moronic, Seth didn’t notice his mic was unplugged until the discussion was well underway. Fortunately, he’d been splattered with Alpha blood and was able to time loop back and replace the missing content. And Alpha blood is really good for the skin, as we understand.

It makes a good redemption story, and Colin Loves a Good Redemption Story (TM).

BTW, I’m not sure we gave full spoiler warnings. So here it is: Spoilers!! Big Time!
